Camwhoring For The Masses

Now, all of you out there knows what "Camwhoring" means right? Well, for those who don't know, It means acting like a whore in front of your camera, or with better words, self portrait with expressions. 
Me camwhoring with the wife

Some might think that camwhoring pics looks stupid. But, for me, somehow, it's an art form. Because seriously, it's not easy to take pictures of yourself while holding a 2Kg DSLR with Flash and Vertical Grip.
Seriously, It ain't easy. Nor is it light.

So, maybe that's why some camwhoring "experts" often do it with a Point-And-Shoot camera or better yet, a Camera phone. But the main reason some people use DSLR camera for camwhoring is because of the details. But for that, you need to lose the Vertical Grip, Use a lighter lens (50mm should do if you're camwhoring alone. But you need the wide angle of you're with a crowd) and make sure you're camwhoring in a brightly lit place, in case you want to ditch the Flash as well. 

Me, halfway behind the springs.

Me and my daughter, She was asleep,
so she covered her face when she saw
me whip out the camera.

And Finally, Me, behind the pole.

P/s: For the best camwhoring pictures and inspirations, I go to www.smashpop.net. Somehow, nobody does it better than him.

Cheers
